In April 1970, Paul released his first solo album, McCartney, alongside a shocking press release that announced the beloved band had split. When asked what heโd do next, he said his only planโฆwas to grow up. Man on the Run captures Paulโs transformative decade in the wake of The Beatlesโ break-up.
Paul and his wife Linda escaped to a remote farm in Scotland and raised their family while Paul grappled with the reality of making music on his own. He decided to start from scratch, putting together a band called Wings, first with only Linda, and then eventually with an ever-rotating line-up of musicians.
Paul wrestled with critics who wouldnโt acknowledge his solo abilities, with The Beatles over legal issues, and with his own discomfort being the leader of a new band. But Paul just kept writing music, never afraid to try something different. Always grounded and inspired by Linda and their kids, Paul emerged triumphant, embarking on a world tour and producing hit after hit.
1980 brought not only John Lennonโs death, but also an arrest in Japan that left Paul reevaluating everything. The end of the most pivotal decade of his life ended the same way it began, with the dissolution of a band and the release of a groundbreaking solo album.
Through stunning archival footage, Linda McCartneyโs exceptional photographs, and interviews with Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde, Sean Ono Lennon, Mary and Stella McCartney, all the living Wings members, and of course Paul himself, the film examines this time through a uniquely vulnerable lens.
This is a Paul McCartney youโve never seen before.
